THE ALBANY CONTEST.
Republicans Trying Hard &c
LegaliZc Their Frauds.

ALBANY, November 8.-Thc ex-
element here over the local Senatorial
canvass i'll continues To-day it
was increased when it was learned
that hearing would BE- given late this
afternoon before the police justice to
determine whether or not warrants
shall be issued for the arrest # the
Democratic Inspectors Of the contested
district. 1t is asserted by the Repub-
licans that Mr.. Chase, the Democratic
candidate, and d. Cady Herrick, State
Committeeman, will also he arrested
or alleged completely in fraud.
The fact OF the t'rand July here
calling upon the United States Court
to indict United States Supervisor of
Ele C ion I.eary is looked II pom in two
li-hts. The Democrats claim that the
pres eminent establishes the fact that
l.ean IS confession is the Truth, that
he did transfer 40 Chese b. llots into
the Russell pile and counted and can
yassed them frauduleI lily for Russell,
and that the Grand Jury las thus

which, by the law, is az Original re-

Republicans contend that it estab-
shes the fact that instead OF com
nit ing that crime he had committed
perjury in making false confession
and should be punished for present.

The order of Judge Mott, staying
proceedings, iorbids the publication of
the vote until the 9th OF this month;

vote is, in the contes ed district: Rus

OMAHA'S DOUBLE BRIDGE.
Erected at n Cost OF SSO0.00o an q
Eight Elves.

The lives OF eight men and the sum
of $500 600 has been put into the
Union Pacific railways double bridge
over the Missouri river at this city,
which was completed this week, says
the Omaha World. The expenditure
OF lie and money is pronounced by
bridge comparatively low for
a work OF this magnitude. Care for
the safety Of the men and advantages
in securing material, neither of which
was possible when the original bridge
was constructed, have been had in the
present enterprise.
When General Manager Galloway
told Il reporter two years ago last
August that the company had decided
to remove the old bridge and to span
the Big Muddy with a double-trAck
combination railway and wagon
bridge, and the news was published.
it seemed too good to be true. But
true it was, and two years ago this
mo tn The first of the material WAS
delivered Acres of stone and timber
yards were heaped up at the Iowa
side, and construction began. The
skilliul use of the old bridge enabled
the builders to do what was never be
fore attempted on so large structure.
This was to let down the old, p zee
by piece, and to build in the new
without del aging the passage OF a
train.
The sinking OF the iron shod, heavy
cassion frames, the excavation OF
earth to bed rock, the working at
depths of even more than eighty-6ve
feet under compressed air of the cas-
son men, and finally the labor of the
m IN who joined the iron at q height
oil fl ty to seventy feet above the char
mel, have all been told and become "a
familiar part OF the history of the
bridge. Three of the workmen who
lot their lives were victims of the
mysterious 'cassion fever" and the
other five We're drowned hy losing
treir footing on the dizzy heights OF

The do ibl, bridge is about two
thirds the length Of the original
bridge, and is built upon piers OF
solid masonry. The first bridge

pleted in 1873, the company taking it

VIENNA, December G-Prices on the
Bourse iell to-day on the rumors that
Russian troops were being massed at
the frontier. In the evening Austrian
and Hungarian rentes fell heavily and
gold rose.
PRESS OPINION.
The Poster Lloyd says 1.-The situation
is undeniably most serious, and Rus
sia's attitude is SO threatening that
we cannot but think that war is in
evitable."
The Freml0nbldH says: "The Rus
sian military measures on the frontier
are at variance with the general de-
sire for peace. The recent speech
from the German throne, in which
the Emperor showed he was not in
clined to disturb the peace OF his
neighbor was sufficient for Austr u
that any further gathering of Rus
SLAMS on our frontier will compel us to
take similar measures.
GERMAN COMMENT.

force on the Austrian frontier have re-
vived feeling of uneasines5 concern

of blow against Austria. Whether
that blow will admit Germany's re.
manning at peace is II question which
doubtless Russia has since answered.
